Tough Sentences for Violent Crimes |
|
|
|
|
|
United Future Will:
|
|
|
 |
Introduce tougher penalties for child abuse and neglect.
|
|
|
|
Ensure offences against children receive at least the same penalties as offences against adults.
|
|
|
|
Provide for cumulative sentences rather than concurrent sentences so that multiple offenders pay for each crime they have committed, not just one.
|
|
|
|
Introduce mandatory guidelines, including higher minimum sentences to ensure sentencing reflects nature of the offending, and reflects the overwhelming concern of New Zealanders with overly lenient sentencing.
|
|
|
|
In the case of heinous murders, ensure criminals face life imprisonment, without the possibility of parole.
